Musical Representations, Subjects, and Objects

Jairo Moreno adapts the methodologies and nomenclature of Foucault's "archaeology of knowledge" and applies it through individual case studies to the theoretical writings of Zarlino, Descartes, Rameau, and Weber. His conclusion summarizes the conditions -- musical, philosophical, and historical -- that "make a certain form of thought about music necessary and possible at the time it emerges."Musical Meaning and Interpretation -- Robert S. Hatten, editor

Jairo Moreno is Associate Professor of Music Theory at Duke University. His research and publications focus on the history and philosophy of music theory.
